Why are so Many Affected by Hypothyroidism?Radiation is probably the greatest environmental cause of hypothyroidism and thyroid problems. Fluoride is another contributing factor and synthetic and genetically engineered hormones such as oestrogen found in meats, dairy, poultry and eggs, as well as hormone replacement therapy and the oral contraceptive pill all block the release of thyroid hormone.
Excessive consumption of polyunsaturated fats and excess iodine are also thyroid inhibitors. However insufficient iodine may also contribute to the problem. Mercury also has an effect on the thyroid. It poisons an enzyme critical in converting inactive form of the thyroid hormone (T4), into the active hormone (T3).
The Thyroid gland is also linked into the Throat C hakra and as such it is influenced by our ability to communicate and express ourselves.
